~45 days total, but I didn't have access to books for about half of those due to being moved around (3 days in a holding cell with about 30 others, no books there, then to a general area with a small library for 4 days, then I got moved to a 10-man cell for the remainder of my stay, but the book cart didn't come for weeks). I'm a pretty quick reader and had a bunch of free time though, I estimate I read about 30 books overall. Some days I read 2-3 books (especially when I ran out and read the stuff other people had grabbed, which were mostly 100-200 page westerns and crime novels), many days I just slept, played cards and dice, did crosswords/sudoku, and rapped. Not being able to pick-and-choose what to read meant I ventured into a lot of genres that I normally wouldn't read, like war novels, some John Grisham books, and the aforementioned westerns. I wrote a bunch of rap songs and some poetry as well.

Have you been able to pick what to rape, though?

Being surrounded by a bunch of bearded men in various states of undress eliminated all serial desire pretty handily.
